Created in 1999, this group is committed to the promotion of the history of Brixham Battery as well as the environment, flora and fauna and is currently expanding its on-site education centre within the grounds of the gardens.

Until his passing in Feb 2006 the group was proud to have a veteran sergeant, Mr Ron Coleman, who was manned at the Battery during the war as their Secretary.

The group has over 60 members so far - of all ages. There is always projects and work to be done at the centre, whether it is helping to restore a 1950's British armoured 'Pig' car, using the on-site PC to create promotional material for the battery, or helping out in the centre with the ever-expanding displays of WW2 militaria and memorabilia.

As a registered charity, the Heritage Group has been generously awarded grants from various sources. These much-needed funds have greatly helped to expand the educational side of the project as well as inject money into various restoration projects that need to be carried out on some of the emplacements.

The heritage group is always looking for new members to help out. Why not join our mailing list and keep up to date with news and activities taking place at the Brixham Battery.
